|| Ram ||

Sri Garga said - First you listen to the name of Rohininandana Rama. Rama is as Yogis take delight in him or else he goes on sporting everywhere. Further he delights his devotees through his merits and excellences so he is Rama. Due to the transferring from the womb he will be known as Sankarsana. When everything dissolves, he still remains. So he is Sesa. Due to the superiority of strength he is Bala.

Now listen carefully to the names of your own son which are capable of sanctifying instantly all creatures and which are benefactor to all worlds. The letter 'Ka' in his name indicates Kamalakanta Visnu and 'R' stands for Rama. 'Sa' represents the Lord of the six qualities who lives in Svetadvipa. 'Na' represents the man-lion god and 'A' represents fire-god, the two visargas represent Nara and Narayan. Since all these six aspects are inclusive in a single Paripurnatama so he is known as Krsna. His bodily colour was white, reddish and yellowish in different Yugas. In the end of Dvapara and beginning of Kali he has become black so he will be known as Krsna. 'Vasu' stands for Indriyas having Citta, as their god. He who acts among them is known for this reason as Vasudeva. The daughter of Vrsabhanu, Radha who was born of Kirti - because of being her Lord he is known as Radhapati. Sri Krsna is Paripurnatama Lord Himself. He is the overlord of innumerable universes and abides in Golokadhama. That Lord has become your child in order to relieve the burden of earth, to kill Kamsa etc, . and to protect his devotees. His names are innumerable unknown even to the Vedas. Moreover He will have many names based on his deeds. There should be no wonder in regard of his deeds. It is your great fortune O Nanda that the supreme Lord in the form of the child is present in your home.
